Created attachment 238016 [details] Mark port as deprecated The Apache Xalan project has decided to retire the Xalan-C project (I'm the last person to do any maintenance, and I'm leaving once the final details of winding it up are completed). There will be no further releases, bugfixes or security updates. I have marked the port as deprecated, with some suggested alternatives to consider. I have marked it as expiring in one years time; this can be adjusted if needed, but hopefully this will give sufficient time for the remaining users to migrate away. There are no ports remaining which depend upon xalan-c, so future removal will have no impact on other ports.
Maintainer informed via mail
I assume you are the maintainer. Will adjust the maintainer address and commit this with deprecation date adjusted to be 6 months from now.
